Re: i need help with my 328i

So... why do you drive a '97 328i if you are worried about cheap?

You can get a 97 328i for as low at $8500. I dont really call that expensive. Perhaps he dumped all of his money into buying the car and doesnt have a lot to spend on mods.

Re: i need help with my 328i

A good air filter, definitely. But if you just spend some time to maintain it well, such as oil change, tranny fluid, differential fluid, spark plugs. It will be quick enough already. Because I own a 325, it gets slower everytime there's something that's not maintained well. So I rather think how to keep its original power without losing it, than thinking how to make it faster without keeping it in good shape. So I would say "if you're tight in budget, just spend money to maintain the car well" You won't regret.

For round $500 you can get a chip and a k&n airfilter. get you about 20hp. youll feel the differance at highway speeds.
